I photographed some signs of wildlife in my garden today. I have a bird box and there is a sparrow nesting in it – I have seen it fly in and out but I couldn’t get a photo of it doing that.
I also found the beginnings of a wasp nest in my pony’s stable – this is only about 3 cm long (I took it down because I don’t really want a wasp nest in the stable). It’s quite beautiful to look at though and very delicate. Wasps are predators and prey on other insects – they are important because they keep the numbers of other insects under control. Mrs. Madden
